2. LET’S BE INFORMED
Industrial Arts play an important role in our economy. Many
occupations and businesses belong to this area. Thousands are
employed in different industrial works, both in rural and urban
areas
This lesson will acquaint you with different products made of
bamboo, wood, and metal that are designed, manufactured, and
are sold both here and abroad. It will also discuss ways by which
one can enhance finished products made of these materials.
3. Importance of enhancing/decorating bamboo,
wood, and metal products
• Finished products tend to be more saleable to
customers when enhanced and decorated.
• Enhanced and decorated finished products help
maintain their durability to harsh elements.
• Finished products that are enhanced or decorated
beautify the product itself.
5. Woodcraft and bamboo craft can be enhanced using a
variety of methods and techniques. These include:
Woodturning is a process of using a lathe to make various forms and shapes of wood.
6. Hand carving is considered a woodcraft in which a sharp object is used to create designs
on the wood. Various textures and surfaces can be created using this technique. Tools
as chip carving knife, gouges, and chisels are used.
9. Inlaying combines several techniques that involve inserting decorative pieces in to a base
object to incorporate new designs on the original product.
10. Gilding is considered as a decorative technique in which powder is applied on wood or
other materials to give a thin coating of gold. Methods of this technique include glueing,
chemical gilding, and electroplating.
11. Staining is used to color wood to give an illusion of texture. This may come in two
varieties. First, pigment-based stain will color large pores of the wood, while dye-based
stain color small pores of the wood.
12. Painting is considered the simplest way of decorating wood since there is a variety of
colors that you can choose from. One may also add a lacquer finish to make it more shiny
and glossy.
14. The following are some techniques used to enhance or
add design elements on metal products:
• Engraving is a method of transferring a design on metal using a hardened steel
tool called burin or graver to cut into the surface of the metal.
15. • Etching is a process used to make designs or pictures on a metal plate by using acid
that produces corrosive action. In modern manufacturing, strong chemicals are used on
other types of material.
16. • Adding metal enhancing media such as metal paints, copic markers and antiquing kits
give color to the metal product. Metal paints may be applied using a brush or spray.
17. • Texturing and embossing – In this technique you will need hammers, metal stamps,
stencils, and other materials to create imprints on the metal. Though there are new
technologies used to emboss a metal with different textures, a hammer and nail can still
be used to create your own design.
